Nvidia’s GPU beast, the Quadro GP100 – Best Pick for Workstations

Nvidia‘s latest workstation GPU beast, the Quadro GP100 is out now. Lately, Nvidia is concentrating on GPUs that are likely to perform best in Data centres and Workstations. Do you know why?

Because of parallel growth of gaming industry and computing industry, the latter is also in need of High-Performance GPUs as the world is now relying on data mostly. That’s why Nvidia is designing these GPU beasts which are the best picks at the moment for Workstations and Data centres.

Nvidia – Quadro GP100 – Computing Beast GPU

Design and Features of Quadro GP100:

Quadro GP100 mostly resonates the features of Tesla P100 compute card. But there are additional features and things like PCIe connector and video outputs. And speaking of its specifications, it brings Pascal architecture, HBM2, and 64-bit double precision computations to the workstation.

As most of don’t know, Nvidia has GPUs split into three categories in general. And they are

Tesla

Quadro

GeForce

Tesla compute cards are only for data-center and research purposes with no video outputs. While GeForce GPUs are entirely dedicated for gaming and it’s so simple to guess that since we already know that. However, Quadro GPUs are the special ones. They’re not specifically chosen for anything.

They are the middle ones of the family, which have high-performance computing (HPC) hardware. So, they are most commonly used in CAD, 3D modelling, and simulations; if drivers are optimised to do the task.

This time that ain’t the case. Quadro GP100 is a total design change-over from Nvidia. They came out of their daily routine to design this thing.
